Reccer's comments:This series contains two (maybe three?) of my favourite things: open (and belivable) discussion of Sherlock's sexuality that's not a plot point to get Sherlock and John into bed, and awkward, not-even-close-to-perfect sex with giggles. I love laughing and giggling during sex scenes.

The first part is a good commentary on A Scandal in Belgravia and doesn't just give insights in Sherlock's sexuality, but also in John's and the dynamic between them. (And between Sherlock and Irene.) The second part is a hillarious follow-up, with unsexy sex between two friends. Sherlock is very Sherlock through-out it all, John rolls with it, and by the end, they still aren't a couple.

Keep Calm and Carry On is the reason I'm reccing these two, but you need the first part to get to the second. So if Like a Virgin doesn't really speak to you the way it does to me, don't give up on it! They laugh during sex! It's the best thing.
